One of the First Real-World Quantum Computer Applications Was Just Realized

Posted in computing, engineering, quantum physics

Luv it; and this is only the beginning too.


In the continued effort to make a viable quantum computer, scientists assert that they have made the first scalable quantum simulation of a molecule.

Quantum computing, if it is ever realized, will revolutionize computing as we know it, bringing us great leaps forward in relation to many of today’s computing standards. However, such computers have yet to be fabricated, as they represent monumental engineering challenges (though we have made much progress in the past ten years).

Case in point, scientists now assert that, for the first time ever, using this technology, they have made a scalable quantum simulation of a molecule. The paper appears in the open access journal Physical Review X.
